RE:

. 30-Day Notice of the 152nd Meetings of the Weste:ffi States Water Council

This memorandum is to notify you that the 152nd Meetings of the Western States Water Council will be
held in 30 days at the Sheridan Holiday Inn in Sheridan, Wyoming on October 4-6, 2006.

No new positions have been proposed for consideration. However, there are two Council positions due to
sunset unless readopted at the upcoming meeting. These are as follows: #256 - Position regarding Federal Water
and Climate Data Collection and Analysis Programs, and Position #257 - Position Statement relative to the
recommendations of the Western Water Policy Review Advisory Commission.

. By way of reminder regarding voting policy, first, there will be a conference call organized for the Executive
Committee to discuss the proposed policy positions, as well as the above positions about to sunset. The purpose of
the call is to air any concerns regarding policies prior to the Council meetings. A conference call for the Executive
Committee to discuss the positions is scheduled on Monday, September 11 at 9 am Mountain Tille (10 am
Central Time; 8 am Pacific Time). Executive Committee members (or their designated alternate) may access the call
by dialing 1-913-312-9357, and when prompted, enter passcode 2210885.

For the purpose of the conference call and the meetings themselves, the Council has adopted a policy
. specifying the process for establishing credentials for persons who are not Council representatives. That policy reads
as follows:

Whenever a person who is not a Council representative is attending on behalf of a Council member at a
regular or special meeting of the Council, either in person or via conference call, a written notification to this effect
must be provided to the Council offices to assure that the person is serving in the appropriate capacity. Since
delegations to the Council from each state consist of more than one person, but each state has only one vote, the
Executive Committee member for each state shall be responsible as an internal state matter for coordinating and
communicating the official position of the state relative to voting on proposed policy positions.

We have also enclosed a schedule of meetings for your reference. Please note the Council has organized a
roundtable discussion beginning at 7:30 am (continental breakfast included), focusing on a draft scope of work to
implement the WGA recommendations contained in the report entitled "Water Needs and Strategies for a
Sustainable Future." This will be followed by a field trip from 9:45 am - 6:30 pm (lunch included). Details for the
field trip are included on the registration form, which is available on our web site at
.' www.westeov.on!/wswc/meetine:s.btmI.PIeasenotealso the opportunity to play golf at the Powder Horn Golf
Course on Tuesday afternoon. We ask that you register to attend not later than September 15,2006. Ifspouses
